Ear drum rupture can be caused by trauma, disease or other factors. If a eardrum is perforated, the middle ear is connected with the outside so the middle ear can be easily infected. You may have ear pain, tinnitus, and ear discharge with pus or blood. Hearing can vary from being normal to moderate deafness. You may also feel the ear is obstructed. Most ruptured eardrum does not need treatment. Generally it can heal on its own in a few weeks. If it does not heal on its own, surgery is needed to fix the rupture.
